1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Nrf1 (nuclear factor-erythroid 2 p45 subunit-related factor 1) is negatively controlled by its NTD (N-terminal domain) that lies between amino acids 1 and 124. This domain contains a leucine-rich sequence, called NHB1 (N-terminal homology box 1; residues 11-30), which tethers Nrf1 to the ER (endoplasmic reticulum). Electrophoresis resolved Nrf1 into two major bands of approx. 95 and 120 kDa. The 120-kDa Nrf1 form represents a glycosylated protein that was present exclusively in the ER and was converted into a substantially smaller polypeptide upon digestion with either peptide:N-glycosidase F or endoglycosidase H. By contrast, the 95-kDa Nrf1 form did not appear to be glycosylated and was present primarily in the nucleus. NHB1 and its adjacent residues conform to the classic tripartite signal peptide sequence, comprising n-, h- and c-regions. The h-region (residues 11-22), but neither the n-region (residues 1-10) nor the c-region (residues 23-30), is required to direct Nrf1 to the ER. Targeting Nrf1 to the ER is necessary to generate the 120-kDa glycosylated protein. The n-region and c-region are required for correct membrane orientation of Nrf1, as deletion of residues 2-10 or 23-30 greatly increased its association with the ER and the extent to which it was glycosylated. The NHB1 does not contain a signal peptidase cleavage site, indicating that it serves as an ER anchor sequence. Wild-type Nrf1 is glycosylated through its Asn/Ser/Thr-rich domain, between amino acids 296 and 403, and this modification was not observed in an Nrf1(Delta299-400) mutant. Glycosylation of Nrf1 was not necessary to retain it in the ER.
